The Californians’ lawbreaking comes little over three months after a Russian tourist was caught carving a 25cm letter into the Colosseum. The 42-year-old was given a four-month suspended prison sentence and a €20,000 fine, although owing to a lack of funds he has not paid the penalty.The Russian was the fifth person to be stopped for defacing the ancient monument last year, with others hailing from Australia, Brazil and Canada.
My first thought was SHYTE one of my idiot little brother in laws is living in Rome this semester....Second thought was, idiots poorly representing our country.Third thought was phew Australia and Canada beat us to it in recent history.
And meanwhile, ISIS is bulldozing entire historic cities in Iraq.The Colosseum has survived Goths, Visigoths, Vandals, fire, abandonment, civil war, Fascism, and a nearby McDonalds. It will survive two knuckleheads from California.
....never underestimate the power of California knuckleheads.....kjf
Yes, idiots.Feed them to the lions. >:(I have never understood graffiti. Period.Bill
And meanwhile, ISIS is bulldozing entire historic cities in Iraq.QuoteFortunately, not all were destroyed: "Samuel Andrew Hardy, a specialist in the trade in illicit antiquities who teaches at the American University of Rome, explained on his blog that one of the one of the exhibits shown in pieces on the Museum floor, a statue of the seventh-century-B.C. Assyrian king Sargon, was a reproduction of the original. “The Assyrian reliefs (carved panels),” he added, “were plaster cast replicas of pieces that are in the British Museum.”Christopher Jones @cwjones89Most of the destroyed statues seem to be from Hatra. Most of the Assyrian relief sculptures in the museum are replicas."

All this has happened before, all this will happen again...
Sometimes when you have nothing worth while to say, its best not to say anything. Just my opinion, and I often enough don't heed my own advice.
People do stupid shit all of the time.
What does that tattoo even mean ??? I that a dress ? Dusty
Dusty, you spend too much time on WG. ;D"The lace-striped Roman Originals dress became an Internet sensation after a Scottish folk singer shared a picture of it and asked for input on what color it was."http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/texas-man-tattoos-dress-leg-article-1.2133534
Who are Ken Kardasian and Tylor Swit ? Maybe I do need to catch up on pop culture , still not sure this makes any sense ::) Dusty
Really, don't bother. Keeping up with that stuff is a sign that your brain is turning to mush.Lannis
